Understood. I was also looking at Ford Fusion at one point, but did not hear good things from (many) of my friends who owned Fusion and Explorers.

Honda Civic and Accord are fantastic - as well as the new CR-V.

Another reason I like the Tucson primarily because mine is fully loaded (sunroof, etc etc), and the new(ish) re-designed Tucson is really a wonderful build

Update. Wife took her car to a body shop where she knows the owner. His estimate was below the value of the car. She took his estimate paperwork to the other driver’s insurance office. Wife is hoping they’ll accept the estimate and not declare her car totaled. Though I hate her car, I hate being forced to shop for a vehicle. There’s a difference between being forced through accident and taking our time to research and test drive for a replacement vehicle at our own pace and time. Other issue is wife’s health. The one day we went to a car dealership resulted in several days of increased pain for my wife. I now know when we go to a dealership we’ll go to the showroom, sit in the vehicle model we want to test, and if the seating position is good then ask the salesperson to bring around the model (color, price, package) we want for her to test drive or roll us in a golf cart to the vehicles.
